whom should you tell about the "gear"

Thanks for all the great advice Ive been getting on this board. I have an intresting question? When you decide to take the "plunge" whom have you people told? After my post yesterday most people thought you should tell wife, but just wondering how far you should go. Seems like most people definately have a negative impression of gear and would be labeled by many negatively. Just wanted to throw that out there and hear others opinions.
Thanks again

sorry bout the repeat. didnt thinkk first post went through

The only people I told was my gf of 2 years and my trustworthy training partner/coach. He helped me get the stuff. I told her just in case, medical reasons, in the hospital, or whatever... she knows. It's my first cycle, don't plan on telling anyone else
